Signatures of the core-powered mass-loss mechanism in the exoplanet population: dependence on stellar properties and observational predictions [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019
Recent studies have shown that atmospheric mass-loss powered by the cooling luminosity of a planet’s core can explain the observed radius valley separating super-Earths and sub-Neptunes, even without photoevaporation.

About time of hydrogen burning in stellar entrails. New formulas for approximation

open access: yesВісник Астрономічної школи, 2017
The relationship between the duration of nuclear reactions and initial mass of the star is an important component a wide variety of astrophysical problems.

Comparison of stellar population model predictions using optical and infrared spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We present Gemini/GNIRS cross-dispersed near-infrared spectra of 12 nearby early-type galaxies, with the aim of testing commonly used stellar population synthesis models.

Multiple Populations in Star Clusters

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
We review the multiple population (MP) phenomenon of globular clusters (GCs): i.e., the evidence that GCs typically host groups of stars with different elemental abundances and/or distinct sequences in photometric diagrams.

Stellar population analysis of two ellipticals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The spatial distributions of the mean luminosity-weighted stellar age, metallicity, and alpha/Fe ratio along both photometric axes of two nearby elliptical galaxies have been obtained using Lick index measurements on long slit spectra in order to ...

Streams on FIRE: Populations of Detectable Stellar Streams in the Milky Way and FIRE

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present the first detailed comparison of populations of dwarf galaxy stellar streams in cosmological simulations and the Milky Way. In particular, we compare streams identified around 13 Milky Way analogs in the FIRE-2 simulations to streams observed ...

Stellar populations in HII galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2004
We analyse the stellar content of a large number of HII galaxies from the continua and absorption features of their spectra using population synthesis methods, in order to gain information about the star formation histories of these objects. We find that all galaxies of our sample contain an old stellar population (>= 1 Gyr) that dominates the ...

MILES extended: Stellar population synthesis models from the optical to the infrared [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We present the first single-burst stellar population models, which covers the optical and the infrared wavelength range between 3500 and 50 000 angstrom and which are exclusively based on empirical stellar spectra.

The Stellar Population of M17

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2008
The stellar content of M17 has been investigated by multicolor photometry and spectroscopy. Various independent estimates yield a distance of 2.1 ± 0.2 kpc. The ratio of total-to-selective extinction is R = 3.9. Within a projected area of 3.6 × 3.7 pc, there are several thousand stars.

SDSS-IV MaNGA: stellar population gradients as a function of galaxy environment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We study the internal radial gradients of stellar population properties within 1.5 Re and analyse the impact of galaxy environment. We use a representative sample of 721 galaxies with masses ranging between 109 M⊙ and 1011.5 M⊙ from the SDSS-IV survey ...
